Thought you all may enjoy this. I have collected the many forms of a Gamespot forum thread. These are the many paths that a forum tends to take, and it rarely strays. Hope you enjoy : ).
Example #1:
"Hey! I just got this game!"
"No you didn't"
"Pics or it didn't happen"
*Topic creator gets annoyed*
"Hey i'm just posting my basic opinion here, i have this game!"
"No you don't, topic creator is fail"
Example #2:
"Wow this game is cool!"
"Yeah I think so too"
"Yeah if you guys think ______ and _______ is awesome *sarcasm*"
"Hey shut it, we're just enjoying this game"
"yeah, leave us alone troll"
*sarcastic insulting of intelligence by troll*
Example #3:
"This game isn't as good as ________"
"So? Who cares about your opinion? I like it."
"I'm telling you this game isn't as good as _______ because of ______ , ______ , and ________."
"Um, I still don't care what you say, i'm still gonna play it"
"but I don't like it!"
"then go somewhere else"
*reported*
Example #4:
"Hey I really need some help figuring this out"
"Screw you"
"yeah newb just use the search function"
"But it takes a while to do that! Can't you just answer my question?"
"we've done this numerous times before, just shut it"
"yeah, what he said, shut it"
"Cmon guys, that's not very nice, here's your answer dude"
"Thank you! : )"
Example #5:
"hey i've got a really good idea!"
"That idea sucks"
"That would be horrible, the game is perfect like it is"
"Hey i just posted an idea, if you're going to tell me how horrible it is then give me some reasons"
"We don't have to have reasons when something is so obviously stupid"
"well excuse me for trying to determine what would be cool for DLC"
"Fail Fa Fail Fail Fail"
Example #6:
*obvious question*
"you know what I think? This topic is now about pandas"
"pandas eat bamboo"
"They are black and white, I hate them because I'm a bi-racist"
Example #7:
"Here is my opinion"
"You're wrong"
"how could I be wrong in my opinion?"
"Because I'm intelligent and I say so"
"You're not intelligent"
*sarcastic quote by "intelligent" person, demeaning*
*opinion giver gets annoyed*
"Well you're a moron!"
"I know you are, i'm intelligent"
Example #8:
"World of Warcraft"
"World of Failcraft"
"World of Warcraft"
"World of Warhammer"
"World of Warcraft"
"World of Poopcraft"
**banned**
Example #9:
"Hey guys check out my new review I just posted!"
"you didn't mention _______ , ________, or ________."
"I thought I summed it up pretty well though"
"way to fail"
"you're a horrible writer, *grammer police*"
"well i'm not writing a college paper! this is just the internet!"
"well you aren't looking very intelligent"
Example #10:
"Gamespot gave it a 6!?!?! Those morons!"
"It's just one opinion, dont base your purchase off that; ______ gave it a higher score"
"I'm not buying a game that got a 6"
"But this game is really fun"
"I used to think so! But not with a 6!"
"Did you like Mario Kart 64?"
"YES"
"Then enough said....idiot"
-This may not be all the forms one could take, but I doubt anyone that has been here as long as I have (since 2003) wouldn't recognize at least one of these forum types. Ahhh internet anonymity, how we love you.
